EA Sports MMA Hands-On Impressions

[Steve_OS]

Check out the EA Sports MMA hands-on impressions.

"I have to say that the standing game is very well put together. It’s fluid and responsive, and in the build we played it was very satisfying hitting your opponent. I know a lot of you were worried about how well this was going to be portrayed in the game, but set your mind at ease. This game makes you feel satisfied after getting a good solid punch landed.

Our first fights all consisted of heavyweights pretty much. This is where my first concern was brought into the light. I was concerned that the fighters punched a little slow, and moved a little too fluid and slow. This concern was put to sleep once we discovered the difference in weight classes when you fight. It really gives you an appreciation for smaller dudes and bigger dudes. There’s a DEFINITE difference, and it’s not a bad thing. This will make people want to delve into every weight class and try every fighter.

Every fighter is different. And we’re not just talking stance wise (ahem.. THQ). We’re talking movements and individual characteristics that make these fighters not only LOOK like their real-life counterparts, but also FEEL like they would feel if they were transformed into fully playable real life dudes. (can’t wait for EA MMA 2098!)"

Wow, this sounds amazing... seems like they really wanted to go a different direction than THQ with the submissions especially, and it seems like a good change of pace. This game is way more on my radar after reading those impressions, it sounds like a sim to me.

Sounds good but I still prolly past on it if not just rent it...I dont trust EA anymore..

From that read, Im more interested on how this "sim" aspect will translate to FNR5

It's good to hear these impressions after being a bit disappointed by the footage that was shown during the Strikeforce Nashville show.

This is going to be a great game.

Sounds promising, but I don't truly trust the ability to be unbiased on a "hands on" that happens to be posted on their own forums.

Completely agree. Nothing to do with hating EA or any of that nonsense. I just know how EA is and they tend to try and appeal to a LARGE mass which normally results in a dumbdown game and less sim aspects. So my trust in them making a solid sim game is just not there.

Re: EA Sports MMA Hands-On Impressions

Really looking forward to this. I think UFC Undisputed in a very ugly girl with a well done makeup job.

I love to hear that they are going in a different route with submissions and making each fighter truly unique.

I only hope that the create a fighter is good.

Re: EA Sports MMA Hands-On Impressions

one of the coolest gameplay feautre's for me was that there are 3 possibly 4 outcomes for defending a takedown, depending on how early u hit the B button. For example if u hit B just as your opponent shoots in you defend with a full sprawl, if u hit it a little later you will barely fight of the attempted shot, and if you hit B litteraly as the guys got a hold of you u manage to close your guard as u hit the mat instead of ur opponent landing in half guard or open guard. Another outcome is if u time it right and hit X (the submission button ) just as ur opponent shoots in u can pull off a guillotine choke.. How awesome is that.

Very cool in deed.. If what I read is true.. EA MMA will be levels above UFC 10..

I am not an EA fan...but they are completely on the right track for EA MMA.
